NBG Cultural Foundation Bookstore

National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation Bookstore  

The new Bookstore of the NBG Cultural Institute is on the ground floor of the NBG Private Banking.The black matte granite on the floor and the wall creates a base that unifies the space. Two lines: the luminous shop-window and the linear counter, and one level: the silver wooden acoustic surface emphasize the perspective. Two semi-transparent cubes-skylights bring natural light to the central part, where the black granite wall becomes a temporary exhibition space. Flexibility becomes an important element. The linear counter, consisting of movable wooden elements accentuates the axis. In the entrance, four pivot panels/bookselves, introduce the vertical direction.
